Company visits

Make students aware of the realities of the industrial world, while discovering the key missions of an agri-food engineer.
Encourage the search for and organization of relevant information throughout the visits, by encouraging the comparison of practices observed in the different companies visited.
Stimulate observation skills and critical thinking

To achieve these objectives, several measures have been put in place:

The integration of company visits into the training program is compulsory
The organization and active involvement of students are essential to guarantee the success of these visits
Visits are mainly focused on industries in the agri-food sector
Assessment of this module includes continuous assessment (S5) as well as an oral assessment (S6) to evaluate the complete assimilation of information acquired during different visits.
